Wilson`s War - nouveau livre

How Woodrow Wilson's Great Blunder Led to Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, and World War I I The fateful blunder that radically altered the course of the twentieth century&amp #8212 and led to some of the most murderous dictators in history President Woodrow Wilson famously rallied the United States to enter World War I by saying the nation had a duty to make &amp #8220 the world safe for democracy.&amp #8221 But as historian Jim Powell demonstrates in this shocking reappraisal, Wilson actually made a horrible blunder by committing the United States to fight. Far from making the world safe for democracy, America&amp #8217 s entry into the war opened the door to murderous tyrants and Communist rulers. No other president has had a hand&amp #8212 however unintentional&amp #8212 in so much destruction. That&amp #8217 s why, Powell declares, &amp #8220 Wilson surely ranks as the worst president in American history.&amp #8221 Wilson&amp #8217 s War reveals the horrifying consequences of our twenty-eighth president&amp #8217 s fateful decision to enter the fray in Europe. It led to millions of additional casualties in a war that had ground to a stalemate. And even more disturbing were the long-term consequences&amp #8212 consequences that played out well after Wilson&amp #8217 s death. Powell convincingly demonstrates that America&amp #8217 s armed forces enabled the Allies to win a decisive victory they would not otherwise have won&amp #8212 thus enabling them to impose the draconian surrender terms on Germany that paved the way for Adolf Hitler&amp #8217 s rise to power. Powell also shows how Wilson&amp #8217 s naiveté and poor strategy allowed the Bolsheviks to seize power in Russia. Given a boost by Woodrow Wilson, Lenin embarked on a reign of terror that continued under Joseph Stalin. The result of Wilson&amp #8217 s blunder was seventy years of Soviet Communism, during which time the Communist government murdered some sixty million people. Just as Powell&amp #8217 s FDR&amp #8217 s Folly exploded the myths about Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal, Wilson&amp #8217 s War destroys the conventional image of Woodrow Wilson as a great &amp #8220 progressive&amp #8221 who showed how the United States can do good by intervening in the affairs of other nations. Jim Powell delivers a stunning reminder that we should focus less on a president&amp #8217 s high-minded ideals and good intentions than on the consequences of his actions.
